Seeing that the two strongest vampires had either died or fled, Nakajima Masao imdiately realized—the newcor must be a high-level Spirit Refinent expert!
Only their firearms could have such an effect—cannonballs hitting where you are about to dodge, making it look to others as if the target is catching them perfectly!
And Nakajima Masao knew—next it would definitely be his turn!
"I must leave imdiately, or I'll just beco a live target for the Spirit Refinent expert!"
He had, perhaps, only a few seconds left, so he quickly stuffed the Lead Box into his chest. The next second, his Martial Intuition was insanely signalling danger!
Nakajima Masao roared, "Eat my Dragon God's Sword!"
Then he drew his katana, creating a whirlwind of silver moonlight around himself, and charged toward the remaining buildings of the Heavenly King's Mansion!
"As long as I get into complex terrain, I can escape!"
Nakajima Masao activated his skill and sped off at an extrely fast pace, his whole body followed by a string of afterimages.
With a clanging and sparks flying, he incredibly managed to slash the incoming cannonballs from the machine gun in two with lightning-fast strokes of his well-forged katana, while swiftly moving forward.
If it so happened to be any other weapon, perhaps Nakajima Masao might have actually escaped.
Unfortunately for him, he faced three Fire God Cannons firing at a rate of 6000 rounds per minute, all controlled by Spirit Refinent experts!
At first, Nakajima Masao still had the leeway to slash, but as the cannonballs beca more nurous, he could only parry them, and finally, he could only watch helplessly as 20mm Armor-Piercing Incendiary Shells blew off his legs!
This was still Lu Yao holding back. If not for the sake of the Lead Box, he would have blown up the man long ago!
Nakajima Masao, with great inertia, slid on the ground for tens of ters, dropped his undamaged katana, then propped himself up with his hands and crawled forward, his will to survive very strong.
But he was quickly wrapped up by a tentacle. Looking back, it was actually Hong Renkun!
Nakajima Masao dug his hands into the ground, but he was completely no match in strength against the monster, slowly being dragged back.
His fingers plowed two deep furrows into the ground, and finally, he was grabbed and held in desperation by Hong Renkun.
"Ah!!" Nakajima Masao roared and struggled as he fused with Hong Renkun, then abnormal growths sprouted from the monster's body, issuing a sound of utter despair.
anwhile, Lu Yao and his group had already focused their firepower on the biggest monster.
~~~~~~~~
This largest monster had just amalgamated and was now moving toward Hong Renkun, aiming to rge again.
It was instantly barraged by three machine guns. The cannonballs used were—20mm Armor-Piercing Incendiary Shells.
When striking vehicles, the tungsten core would first penetrate the armor, then the incendiary compound inside the shell would ignite upon impact, burning the vehicle's passengers alive.
It was a vicious weapon. Of course, modern weaponry knew no compassion.
Up to now, none of their enemies could survive the incendiary effect of the shells.
The shells would pierce through and shatter their targets, never remaining inside the body to burn it.
But the creature in front of them was a perfect target to demonstrate the powerful effect of Armor-Piercing Incendiary Shells!
Amid the loud noise like a drill piercing a wall, three fiery lines hit the monster, causing it to burst into splattering juices and at chunks, along with disgusting sizzling sounds and the stench of burnt flesh.
It smoked where it was burned, showing that fire was more effective than physical attacks.
After such a brutal assault, the "people" growing on the monster all pointed in Lu Yao's direction, shouting "Ah~~~" as if giving directions.
The creature, as tall as 7 or 8-story building, squird its massive body and charged quickly.
It moved like a snake, much faster than its bulky fra suggested, and in a short while, it was already within a hundred ters.
Lu Yao was currently reloading, and with his sharp eyesight, he could clearly see the "people" growing on the monster, among them a very familiar face—Eastern King Yang Qing.
Yang Qing was covered in black mucus, with his "inkwell-like mouth" open wide, pointing at Lu Yao while issuing an urgent "Ah~~~" scream.
This man had been repelled by himself during the battle for the "To of Worldly Resignation" and had now ended up in such a state.
Fortunately, he was far away, so his calls were just chilling and lacked any psychic attack effect.

Loading complete, Lu Yao lifted the Fire God Cannon to grant Yang Qing a rciful release!
The monster hurriedly waved its tentacles in front to shield Yang Qing, as if it was protecting him.
But in front of the Fire God Cannon, it was utterly useless; under the barrage, the tentacles burst apart, shattering Yang Qing into pieces.
The monster's movents visibly slowed, the tentacles near Yang Qing stiffened considerably, and so even hung down limply, motionless.
Lu Yao's mind flashed with inspiration and he yelled, "Hit the 'people' on its body!"
"Understood~"
The sisters had also just finished loading and imdiately acted upon his command.
Three streaks of fire began to sweep across the 'people' on the monster's body that resembled body hair, and it frantically waved its tentacles to intercept.
But the Fire God Cannon had a firing rate of 6000 rounds per minute; with three of them firing together, blocking them was simply impossible.
The 'people' wailed as they were blown apart, their last cries of "ah~~" filled with a sense of relief.
And indeed, it was effective; the creature's speed drastically reduced, becoming more and more clumsy, its tentacles less agile, sotis even entangling with each other.
After being sprayed by three Fire God Cannons for 15 seconds, the monster finally reached its limit and suddenly combusted.
Tentacles burst from its body, flailing wildly, but the wind they whipped up only fanned the flas, turning it into burning red charcoal in the inferno.
"This creature sure is fla resistant."
Lu Yao glanced over twice, then called out, "Let's go, we need to take care of Hong Renkun."
The three moved together towards the only remaining Hong Renkun. Liao Qe, who was operating the drone, suddenly panicked:
"Soone's coming from 20 miles away! It's Grandmaster Zeng! And his ninth junior brother, Zeng Boquan! They'll be here in 5 minutes!"
Lu Yao directly said, "Liao Qe, go light the kindling around the Heavenly King's Mansion; Senior Martial Sister, you co with to take care of Hong Renkun!"
The trio took their positions to carry out the mission.
~~~~~~~~
Hong Renkun's section of the monster was relatively smaller, only about the size of a truck.
At that mont, Nakajima Masao had just erged from the monster, his expression one of extre agony and contorted in pain, continuously screaming "ah~~" in lantation.
Lu Yao and Liao Ya stopped a hundred ters away to open fire, a distance that was accurate enough and safe from psychic attacks.
20mm armor-piercing incendiary shells, vying with each other, burrowed into the monster's body before exploding.
Caring for nothing else, the monster surged forward while protecting Hong Renkun.
The two of them retreated while firing, the ferocious firepower of the Fire God Cannon at 6000 rounds/minute overwhelming! To put it in perspective, the firing rate of an AK is only 600 rounds/minute.
Under such a tsunami-like torrent of fire, no matter what the creature did, it could only leave remnants and chunks behind, the ground littered with severed tentacles, and the 'people' growing on it blasted one after another.
At last, only Hong Renkun, who was firmly protected, remained. The monster reburied him into its body, taking all the cannon fire itself.
But this was just delaying the inevitable. When Liao Qe, who had lit the kindling, also joined the fight with her Fire God Cannon, the creature had holes blasted all over its body, and the flas kept rising.
It was like a lump of coal tossed into a furnace, with various parts of its body igniting one after another.
The monster kept shedding its burning flesh, shrinking rapidly, and Hong Renkun was revealed.
He was still holding the lead box vacantly, completely ignoring the increasingly intense flas around him, until he too caught fire.
Hong Renkun slowly began to burn, his body at first turning black and then glowing red hot.
At that mont, he suddenly jerked several tis, shaking as he looked around as if regaining so sense of awareness.
After seeing Lu Yao, Hong Renkun fiercely threw the lead box away and shouted unclearly, "Don't go to the ruins! Don't go to the..."
After that, he along with the monster, were thoroughly enveloped in the flas, letting out a sigh saturated with relief just before dying.
